    Because you can't logic someone out of a position they didn't logic themselves into. You're not arguing with facts, you're arguing with people, and if you argue with stupid people, they'll drag you down to their level and best you with experience.

    I believe the common analogy is it's like playing chess with a pigeon:

    You know you're smarter and do everything right, but they knock all the pieces over, shit on the board, then strut around like they won.

    Recognizing you're wasting valuable oxygen and limited emotional bandwidth on someone who doesn't want to be reached.
